Many wrestlers have joined the WWE and enjoyed a lot of success, money, and fame. Some tried and wilted away with time. That’s how life works when it comes to taking chances and you either succeed or fail.
Many WWE Superstars did a lot of odd jobs to get their way through wrestling school, training, and gym memberships. Some even took up professional jobs which they never planned on quitting until they saw a better opportunity.

#5 Natalya
Natalya Neidhart is a Canadian born wrestler who joined the WWE in 2007-2008. After pairing up with Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith to form the Hart Dynasty, she won the WWE Divas Championship in 2010. She later went on the win the WWE Women’s Championship too in 2017 to become the first woman in the WWE to hold the Divas Championship and the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Currently married to former wrestler and current producer in the WWE Tyson Kidd, Natalya started off cleaning tables at a restaurant. She claims she hated the job and was disgusted at the mess people made. Luckily for her, she made the right move to join the WWE development territories and hasn’t looked back since.
#4 Carmella
Former SmackDown’s Women’s Champion has been in search of gold once again since she thinks no one is more deserving of the title than herself. Carmella is one character who we both love and hate on the blue brand. She plays a great heel and effortlessly makes the entire crowd and women’s roster hate her.
Most people know that before joining the WWE she worked as a cheerleader. However, Carmella started off by working at a video store that lent out VHS tapes and was called Big Video. It was her first job that helped her earn enough to go forward in her career.
#3 Naomi
She’s a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and Women’s Battle Royal Winner. It took Naomi some time to climb up the WWE ladder, but once she did, she’s become a huge success with the fans and the creatives. Naomi is currently married to Jimmy Uso who himself is one of SmackDown’s top stars.
Naomi got her first pay by working at Marshalls. It didn’t go as she’d hoped and expected, and she later quit to move onto her second job which she began to love. Her second job was as a babysitter. She actually worked as a babysitter for a couple of years and loved every bit of it.
She later decided to put her dancing skills to good use and became a dancer for the NBA team Orlando Magic. She enjoyed working there too and from there on she continued onto her wrestling career.
#2 Becky Lynch
Rebecca Quinn, famously known as Becky Lynch in the WWE, is enjoying her time at the top of the blue brand nowadays. Lynch has enjoyed immense success after her stint in NXT due to her irresistible looks and incomparable in-ring skills.
Becky Lynch once told the WWE that she never planned on becoming a wrestler. She took up her first real job at the age of 14 and started waiting tables at a bar. Later on, she went onto become a flight attendant for over two years working for Aer Lingus.
She claims her job as a flight attendant taught her a lot and she still uses a lot of what she learned to her wrestling career.
#1 Bayley
WWE’s hugging machine, Bayley, is a fan-favourite since she first appeared in NXT. She is a one-time NXT Women’s Champion and a one-time Raw Women’s Champion and has seen success very early in her career. She is undoubtedly one of the women currently leading the WWE Women’s division.
However, it wasn’t always easy for Bayley, who started off by working at a pet store and paying for wrestling classes from what she earned there. Bayley helped load supplies, move bags and operate a forklift there to ensure she could continue with her job.
Her love for animals is probably the reason she has such a lovable character on screen and off screen.
